Birmingham Surrogacy FAQs
For Surrogates
Is Surrogacy Legal in Alabama?
Yes, current surrogacy laws in Alabama confirm the process is legal. While Alabama does not have a gestational surrogacy statute, it also does not have case law that prohibits it. Courts have commonly granted pre-birth orders, which are essential for establishing legal parentage, for married couples and single individuals regardless of their sexual orientation. That said, it is important to note that the results can vary by county. In counties where pre-birth orders are not allowed, post birth adoptions are available. With ConceiveAbilities’ long track record of navigating Alabama surrogacy laws and working successfully with surrogates in Alabama, you can be confident about the legal process and a successful surrogacy journey.
Is A Surrogate Related To The Baby?
No. A ConceiveAbilities surrogate does not share any genetics with the baby they are carrying for another family. Learn more about the difference between traditional and gestational surrogacy.
